McLoughlin, of San Fran cisco, and Thomas C. Bundy, of Los Angeles, wrested the title from Ray mond D. Little and Gustav F. Touch ard, of New York, last year s winners, in a four-set match on the Casino courts. The scores of the match., which was played before an eager crowd of more than 2,000, were 3-6, 6-2. 6-1, 7-5. The challengers were easily the mas ters of the situation, although Bundy was bothered somewhat in the first set by the fusillade of shots which Little and Touchard aimed at his side of the court in the belief that he might not have fully recovered from his i ecent illness. But the little Californian seemed to grow stronger as the match went on, and by the middle of the sec ond set he was s -oring almost as manj places as McLoughlin. Os the sixteen matches played in the singles tournament yesterday, fifteen in the fourth round and one in the third, twelve were decided in straight sets.

GBICKtfIS GOffi BACK TO TO; BEAT BABONS Birmingham, ala.. Aug 22. It was a happy lot of Crack- ers who pulled out of here for Montgomery. Not because they set any worlds ablaze, but the fact that they toppled the leading Ba rons in the get-away contest of the series brought smiles to their long downcast faces. No, we are not telling an untruth when we declare the Atlantans beat Molesworth's tribe yesterday; and the count was 4 to 3. To Lyons should go the credit of winning the game and to Bailey for saving it. In the eightli inning, with Diiger perched on the third hassock and two down, Carroll took a vicious swing and met one of Brady’s straight balls. A line drive in the center field grove resulted, but Bailey made a wonderful catch of the ball and kept the tail-enders in the lead. Lyons, whose hitting has been noticeable on account of its ab sence, hit through first and second with Callahan on third base. At the time of the swat the score was tied. Ellam had a big day in the field, accepting nine chances without an error and cutting off several run ners at first by wonderful and ac curate pegs. < 'allahan, who possesses a lean average of .245, fattened up yester day. securing three singles to right field. The Crackers stole bases at will during the early innings, while the Barons copped five off the mighty arm of Ham Reynolds.
